Over the years, the aviation industry has witnessed continuous growth in the development of ground support equipment. The ground support equipment market is widely driven by increase in air-traffic; upsurge in terminal expansions & modernization; increasing number of passengers; and increase in the number of aircraft deliveries across the world. However, the need for huge initial investments is the possible hindrances to the growth of the market.

The report focuses on the growth prospects and restraints of the GSE market based on the analysis of regional trends. The study provides Porters five forces analysis of the market to understand the impact of factors such as bargaining power of suppliers, competitive intensity of competitors, threat of new entrants, threat of substitutes, and bargaining power of buyers on the growth of the market.

The ground support equipment market is categorized under type, application, and geography. Powered and non-powered equipment are the types of GSE. Further, the applications analyzed in the study are aircraft handling, passenger handling, and cargo handling.

Geographically, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa (LAMEA) including country-level analysis for each region.

Top Impacting Factors

According to the current and the future impact of the various factors impacting the global ground support equipment market, increased focus of airports on enhancing operational efficiency, increase in air traffic and cargo, and increased focus towards procurement of green GSE are projected to have a positive influence on the market during the forecast period. In addition, emerging use of wireless technology and high service standards are expected to boost the market growth. However, the impact of factors such as high costs involved is expected to diminish during the forecast period.

Increased Focus of Airports on Enhancing Operational Efficiency

Airports are making large and significant improvements to increase their operating efficiency and decrease the turnaround time. The emergence of underground GSE has helped enhance the speed of operations and has reduced the congestion of equipment on the airport. In 2012, Auckland airport deployed the Cisco IP Interoperability and Collaboration System (IPICS) solution, a solution that simplifies daily radio dispatch operations and allows organizations to rapidly respond to incidents, emergencies, and facility events, to improve its communication system and operational efficiency. The benefit of enhancing operational efficiency is that it helps in the reduction in the operational cost and increases profit. Therefore, it is important for the airport authorities to have competent ground support equipment.

Increase in Air Traffic and Cargo

Significant increase in the number of air passengers and cargo transportation has been witnessed across the globe. In addition, this growth is projected to continue throughout the forecast period, which is anticipated to increase the adoption of advanced GSE by airports. For instance, according to the World Bank, the number of air passengers worldwide increased by 6.9% in 2015 as compared to that in 2014. According to International Air Transport Association (IATA), 52.2 million metric tons of cargo was transported in 2015 and is predicted to increase at a 4.1% CAGR for the next 5 years. Thus, growing number of passengers as well as cargo has augmented the demand for ground support equipment.

Increased Focus Towards Procurement of Greener Gse

Clean and green environment is the need of the hour. Authorities presently focus on procurement of greener GSE that conforms to the stringent emission norms imposed by governments. Greener GSE would insure the reduction in the carbon footprint. Use of power coating paint instead of liquid painted GSE, manufacturing design equipment that can be folded or taken apart to maximize shipping size, use of electric vehicles, recycling of equipment are some examples of how airports can focus on greener GSE. Huge investment in research & development are made to accomplish the same.

Ground support equipment comprise equipment installed on the airports for the purpose of aircraft handling, passenger handling, and cargo handling. The demand for GSE has witnessed an increase, especially in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, owing to rise in number of passengers, airports, and freight. However, most of the manufacturers in the GSE market are based in North America generating a significant 43.3% market share in 2016.

The ground support equipment market has witnessed immense growth, owing to rise in air traffic & cargo, increased focus of airports on enhancing operational efficiency, and high service standards. In addition, the leasing of GSE has further propelled the ground support equipment market growth.

Ground support equipment are expected to witness surge in growth rate in LAMEA, followed by Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. Asia-Pacific witnesses increase in requirement for aircraft in the industry and is anticipated to have the highest number of aircraft deliveries during the forecast period.
